Triazole ACC inhibitors and uses thereof

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides triazole compounds useful as inhibitors of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (ACC), compositions thereof, and methods of using the same.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 15/359,414, filed Nov. 22, 2016, which claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/259,966, filed on Nov. 25, 2015, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Obesity is a health crisis of epic proportions. The health burden of obesity, measured by quality-adjusted life-years lost per adult, has surpassed that of smoking to become the most serious, preventable cause of death. In the US, about 34% of adults have obesity, up from 31% in 1999 and about 15% in the years 1960 through 1980. Obesity increases the rate of mortality from all causes for both men and women at all ages and in all racial and ethnic groups. Obesity also leads to social stigmatization and discrimination, which decreases quality of life dramatically. The chronic diseases that result from obesity cost the US economy more than $150 billion in weight-related medical bills each year. Furthermore, about half of the obese population, and 25% of the general population, have metabolic syndrome, a condition associated with abdominal obesity, hypertension, increased plasma triglycerides, decreased HDL cholesterol, and insulin resistance, which increases the risk for type-2 diabetes (T2DM), stroke and coronary heart disease. [Harwood, Expert Opin. Ther. Targets 9: 267, 2005].

Diet and exercise, even when used in conjunction with the current pharmacotherapy, do not provide sustainable weight loss needed for long-term health benefit. Currently, only a few anti-obesity drugs are approved in the US, the fat absorption inhibitor orlistat (Xenical®), the 5-HT2c antagonist lorcaserin (Belviq®), and the combination therapy phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia®). Unfortunately, poor efficacy and unappealing gastrointestinal side effects limit the use of orlistat. Surgery can be effective but is limited to patients with extremely high body-bass indices (BMI) and the low throughput of surgery limits the impact of this modality to about 200 k patients per year. The majority of obesity drugs in clinical development are designed to reduce caloric intake through central action in the CNS (e.g., anorectics and satiety agents). However, the FDA has taken an unfavorable position against CNS-active agents, due to their modest efficacy and observed/potential side-effect profiles.

The continuing and increasing problem of obesity, and the current lack of safe and effective drugs for treating it, highlight the overwhelming need for new drugs to treat this condition and its underlying causes.

Another ongoing problem is the lack of antifungal drugs with activity against a broad range of fungal pathogens. Often, a given antifungal drug will have activity against one fungal species but lack activity against other, even closely related, species, such as Candida albicans, Candida krusei, and Candida parapsilosis.

Such fungal infections can include superficial fungal infections of the skin, including for example, one or more of Tinea cruris, Tinea corporis, interdigital Tinea pedis, moccasin-type Tinea pedis, Tinea manuum, Tinea versicolor (pityriasis), Tinea nigra, cutaneous candidiasis, Tinea faciei, and white and black piedra; fungal infections of the hair follicle including one or more of Tinea capitis, Tinea Favose (favus), and Tinea barbae; and onychomycosis, a fungal infection of one or more of the nail bed, matrix, and nail plate, caused by, for example, dermatophytes, yeasts, and non-dermatophyte molds.

As used herein, the phrase “fungal infection of the hair follicle” refers to a fungal infection of at least the tubular infolding of the epidermis (skin) containing the root of a hair of any one or more of the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and bearded area of an individual. The phrase “fungal infection of the hair follicle” also refers to a fungal infection of the tubular infolding of the epidermis (skin) containing the root of a hair of any one or more of the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and bearded area, along with a fungal infection of the hair shaft, of an individual. Such fungal infections can include, for example, one or more of Tinea capitis, Tinea favosa, and Tinea Barbae. The term “hair follicle” refers to a tubular infolding of the epidermis (skin) containing the root of a hair. The follicle is lined by cells derived from the epidermal layer of the skin. Tinea capitis (or severe highly-inflammatory cases sometimes termed Kerion) is a superficial fungal infection (dermatophytosis) of the skin of the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes, that attacks the hair follicles and shaft. The disease is primarily caused by dermatophytes in the Trichophyton and Microsporum genera, including for example, Microsporum audouini, Microsporum canis, Microsporum distortum, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton megninii, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton schoenleinii, Trichophyton tonsurans, and Trichophyton verrucosum. The clinical presentation is typically a single or multiple patches of hair loss, sometimes with a ‘black dot’ pattern (often with broken-off hairs), that may be accompanied by inflammation, scaling, pustules, and itching. Tinea favosa can be considered a variety of Tinea capitis because it involves the scalp; however, it may also involve glabrous skin and nails. Tinea favosa is primarily caused by dermatophytes in the Trichophyton and Microsporum genera, including for example, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton schoenleinii. Tinea barbae is a superficial dermatophytosis that is limited to the bearded areas of the face, neck, chin, cheeks, and/or lips and occurs almost exclusively in older adolescent and adult males. The clinical presentation of Tinea barbae includes inflammatory, deep, kerion-like plaques and non-inflammatory superficial patches resembling Tinea corporis or bacterial folliculitis. The mechanism that causes Tinea barbae is similar to that of Tinea capitis, and is frequently the result of a Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) infection but may also be the result of Trichophyton mentagrophytes var granulosum and Trichophyton verrucosum. Finally Microsporum canis and Trichophyton mentagrophytes var erinacei have been known to cause Tinea barbae but are relatively rare.

As used herein, the term “infection” refers to the invasion, development and/or multiplication of a microorganism within or on another organism. An infection may be localized to a specific region of an organism or systemic.

The term “onychomycosis” as used herein refers to a fungal infection of the nail bed, matrix, and/or nail plate. Onychomycosis is caused by three main classes of fungi: dermatophytes, yeasts (candidal onychomycosis), and non-dermatophyte molds. Dermatophytes are the most common cause of onychomycosis. Onychomycosis caused by non-dermatophyte molds is becoming more common worldwide. Onychomycosis due to Candida is less common. Dermatophytes that can cause onychomycosis include one or more of Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton interdigitale, Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton violaceum, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton soudanense, and Trichophyton verrucosum, and such disease is often also referred to as Tinea ungium. Candidal onychomycosis include cutaneous candidisis and mucocutaneous candidiasis that are caused by one or more Candida species, including for example, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis. Non-dermatophyte molds that can cause onychomycosis can include one or more of, for example, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Fusarium spp., Aspergillus spp., Alternaria, Acremonium, Scytalidinum dimidiatum, and Scytalidinium hyalinum. There are four classic types of onychomycosis including the following: distal and lateral subungal onychomycosis (DLSO) that is the most common form of onychomycosis, and is usually caused by Trichophyton rubrum and/or Trichophyton interdigitale, which invades the nail bed and the underside of the nail plate; white superficial onychomycosis (WSO) is caused by fungal (e.g., T. mentagrophytes) invasion of the superficial layers of the nail plate to form “white islands” on the plate, non-dermatophyte molds cause deep white superficial onychomycosis; proximal subungal onychomycosis (PSO) is fungal penetration of the newly formed nail plate through the proximal nail fold and it is the least common form of onychomycosis in healthy people, but is found more commonly when the patient is immunocompromised; endonyx onychomycosis (EO), and candidal onychomycosis (CO) which is Candida species invasion of the fingernails.

As used herein, the term “superficial fungal infection of the skin” refers to a fungal infection present on the outer layer of skin, including Tinea cruris (jock itch), Tinea corporis (ringworm), Tinea pedis, interdigital Tinea pedis, moccasin-type Tinea pedis, Tinea manuum, Tinea versicolor (piyriasis), Tinea nigra, cutaneous candidiasis, Tinea faciei (facial ringworm), and white and black piedra. Tinea corporis (body ringworm), Tinea cruris (jock itch), and Tinea faciei (facial ringworm), can be caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. tonsurans, T. verrucosum, and/or T. violaceum. Tinea pedis (athlete's foot) or Tinea manuum (fungal infection of the hand), are caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. tonsurans, T. verrucosum, and/or T. violaceum. Cutaneous candidiasis can be caused by C. albicans.

Pharmaceutical Uses

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to form malonyl-CoA. This reaction, which proceeds in two half-reactions, a biotin carboxylase (BC) reaction and a carboxyltransferase (CT) reaction, is the first committed step in fatty acid (FA) biosynthesis and is the rate-limiting reaction for the pathway. In addition to its role as a substrate in FA biosynthesis, malonyl-CoA, the product of the ACC-catalyzed reaction, also plays an important regulatory role in controlling mitochondrial FA uptake through allosteric inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I), the enzyme catalyzing the first committed step in mitochondrial FA oxidation. Malonyl-CoA, therefore, is a key metabolic signal for the control of FA production and utilization in response to dietary changes and altered nutritional requirements in animals, for example during exercise, and therefore plays a key role in controlling the switch between carbohydrate and fat utilization in liver and skeletal muscle [Harwood, 2005].

In mammals, ACC exists as two tissue-specific isozymes, ACC1 which is present in lipogenic tissues (liver, adipose) and ACC2, which is present in oxidative tissues (liver, heart, skeletal muscle). ACC1 and ACC2 are encoded by separate genes, display distinct cellular distributions, and share 75% overall amino acid sequence identity, except for an extension at the N-terminus of ACC2 that direct ACC2 to the mitochondrial membrane. ACC1, which lacks this targeting sequence, is localized to the cytoplasm. In the heart and skeletal muscle, which have a limited capacity to synthesize fatty acids, the malonyl-CoA formed by ACC2 functions to regulate FA oxidation. In the liver, the malonyl-CoA formed in the cytoplasm through the actions of ACC1 is utilized for FA synthesis and elongation leading to triglyceride formation and VLDL production, whereas the malonyl-CoA formed at the mitochondrial surface by ACC2 acts to regulate FA oxidation [Tong and Harwood, J. Cellular Biochem. 99: 1476, 2006]. This compartmentalization of malonyl-CoA results from a combination of synthesis proximity [Abu-Elheiga et al., PNAS (USA) 102: 12011, 2005] and the rapid action of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase [Cheng et al., J. Med. Chem. 49:1517, 2006].

Simultaneous inhibition of the enzymatic activities of ACC1 and ACC2 offers the ability to inhibit de novo FA production in lipogenic tissues (e.g. liver & adipose) while at the same time stimulating FA oxidation in oxidative tissues (e.g. liver & skeletal muscle) and therefore offers an attractive modality for favorably affecting, in a concerted manner, a multitude of cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and the metabolic syndrome.

Several lines of evidence strongly support the concept of direct inhibition of ACC activity as an important therapeutic target for treating obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and the metabolic syndrome.

Abu-Elheiga et al. [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 100:10207-10212, 2003] demonstrated that ACC2 knock-out mice exhibit reduced skeletal and cardiac muscle malonyl-CoA, increased muscle FA oxidation, reduced hepatic fat, reduced total body fat, elevated skeletal muscle uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) which is indicative of increased energy expenditure, reduced body weight, reduced plasma free FAs, reduced plasma glucose, and reduced tissue glycogen, and are protected from diet-induced diabetes and obesity.

Savage et al. [J. Clin. Invest. 116: 817, 2006], using ACC1 and ACC2 antisense oligonucleotides, demonstrated stimulation of FA oxidation in isolated rat hepatocytes and in rats fed high-fat diets, and lowering of hepatic triglycerides, improvements in insulin sensitivity, reductions in hepatic glucose production, and increases in UCP1 mRNA in high fat-fed rats. These effects were greater when both ACC1 and ACC2 expression were suppressed than when either ACC1 or ACC2 expression alone was suppressed.

Harwood et al. [J. Biol. Chem. 278: 37099, 2003] demonstrated that the isozyme-nonselective ACC inhibitor, CP-640186, which equally inhibits ACC1 and ACC2 (IC₅₀=˜60 nM) isolated from rat, mouse, monkey and human without inhibiting either pyruvate carboxylase or propionyl-CoA carboxylase, reduced FA synthesis, triglyceride synthesis and secretion in Hep-G2 cells without affecting cholesterol synthesis, and reduced apoB secretion without affecting apoAl secretion. CP-640186 also stimulated FA oxidation in C2C12 cells and in rat muscle slices and increased CPT-I activity in Hep-G2 cells. In experimental animals, CP-640186 acutely reduced malonyl-CoA concentration in both lipogenic and oxidative tissues in both the fed and fasted state, reduced liver and adipose tissue FA synthesis, and increased whole body FA oxidation. In sucrose-fed rats treated with CP-640186 for three weeks, CP-640186 time- and dose-dependently reduced liver, muscle and adipose triglycerides, reduced body weight due to selective fat reduction without reducing lean body mass, reduced leptin levels, reduced the hyperinsulinemia produced by the high sucrose diet without changing plasma glucose levels, and improved insulin sensitivity.

Saha et al. [Diabetes 55:A288, 2006] demonstrated stimulation of insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant rat muscle tissue by CP-640186 within 30 min of compound administration, and studies by Furler et al. [Diabetes 55:A333, 2006] used dual tracer analysis to show that acute (46 min) treatment of rats with CP-640186 stimulated FA clearance without decreasing glucose clearance.

ACC is the rate-limiting enzyme in fatty acid synthesis and its product, malonyl CoA, serves as an important regulator of fatty acid oxidation. Hence, ACC inhibitors both reduce de novo lipid synthesis and promote the oxidation of existing fat. This dual effect on lipid metabolism raises the possibility that ACC inhibitors will be substantially more effective in reducing excess fat than other mechanisms. Furthermore, ACC inhibitors will impact insulin sensitivity, plasma and tissue triglycerides, and fasting plasma glucose as a consequence of whole-body and tissue-specific fat mass reduction without the need for poly-pharmacy.

ACC inhibitors need only access the liver and muscle in the peripheral compartment. Avoiding the CNS will address many of side effects associated with the late-stage obesity programs targeting CNS receptors. ACC inhibitors are also expected to have superior safety profiles to existing metabolic disease agents. For example, it is unlikely that an ACC inhibitor will precipitate life-threatening hypoglycemia as is often seen with insulin mimetics, insulin secretagogues, and insulin degradation inhibitors. Also, since ACC inhibitors will reduce whole-body fat mass, they will be superior to the glitazones that increase whole-body fat mass as part of their mechanism of action.

A peripherally acting agent that causes significant weight loss and improves other metabolic endpoints fits well within the US FDA's requirements for approval of a new obesity agent. However, if an approval for obesity continues to be challenging in 5-7 years, ACC inhibitors could be approved for familial combined hyperlipidemia and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). There are currently no marketed ACC inhibitors, so an isozyme-nonselective ACC inhibitor would represent first-in-class therapy for treating obesity and metabolic syndrome.

The activity of a provided compound as an inhibitor of ACC or treatment for obesity or metabolic syndrome, may be assayed in vitro or in vivo. An in vivo assessment of the efficacy of the compounds of the invention may be made using an animal model of obesity or metabolic syndrome, e.g., a rodent or primate model. Cell-based assays may be performed using, e.g., a cell line isolated from a tissue that expresses ACC. Additionally, biochemical or mechanism-based assays, e.g., transcription assays using a purified protein, Northern blot, RT-PCR, etc., may be performed. In vitro assays include assays that determine cell morphology, protein expression, and/or the cytotoxicity, enzyme inhibitory activity, and/or the subsequent functional consequences of treatment of cells with compounds of the invention. Alternate in vitro assays quantitate the ability of the inhibitor to bind to protein or nucleic acid molecules within the cell. Inhibitor binding may be measured by radiolabeling the inhibitor prior to binding, isolating the inhibitor/target molecule complex and determining the amount of radiolabel bound. Alternatively, inhibitor binding may be determined by running a competition experiment where new inhibitors are incubated with purified proteins or nucleic acids bound to known radioligands. Detailed conditions for assaying a compound utilized in this invention as an inhibitor of ACC are set forth in the Examples below. The aforementioned assays are exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The skilled practitioner can appreciate that modifications can be made to conventional assays to develop equivalent assays that obtain the same result.

The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the infection, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. A provided compound or composition of the invention is preferably formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression “dosage unit form” as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of a provided compound or composition of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts.

A pharmaceutically acceptable composition of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like, depending on the severity of the infection being treated. In certain embodiments, a provided compound of the invention may be administered orally or parenterally at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg and preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a provided compound, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of a compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending a compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of a compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping a compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.

A provided compound can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, and eye drops are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.

A provided compound or composition thereof is suitable as fungicides. They are distinguished by an outstanding effectiveness against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi, including soil-borne fungi, which derive especially from the classes of the Plasmodiophoromycetes, Peronosporomycetes (syn. Oomycetes), Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes (syn. Fungi imperfecti). Some are systemically effective and they can be used in crop protection as foliar fungicides, fungicides for seed dressing and soil fungicides. Moreover, they are suitable for controlling harmful fungi, which inter alia occur in wood or roots of plants.

In some embodiments, a provided compound or composition thereof is particularly important in the control of phytopathogenic fungi on various cultivated plants, such as cereals, e.g. wheat, rye, barley, triticale, oats or rice; beet, e.g. sugar beet or fodder beet; fruits, such as pomes, stone fruits or soft fruits, e.g. apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or gooseberries; leguminous plants, such as lentils, peas, alfalfa or soybeans; oil plants, such as rape, mustard, olives, sunflowers, coconut, cocoa beans, castor oil plants, oil palms, ground nuts or soybeans; cucurbits, such as squashes, cucumber or melons; fiber plants, such as cotton, flax, hemp or jute; citrus fruit, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits or mandarins; vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits or paprika; lauraceous plants, such as avocados, cinnamon or camphor; energy and raw material plants, such as corn, soybean, rape, sugar cane or oil palm; corn; tobacco; nuts; coffee; tea; bananas; vines (table grapes and grape juice grape vines); hop; turf; natural rubber plants or ornamental and forestry plants, such as flowers, shrubs, broad-leaved trees or evergreens, e.g. conifers; and on the plant propagation material, such as seeds, and the crop material of these plants.

The term “plant propagation material” is to be understood to denote all the generative parts of the plant such as seeds and vegetative plant material such as cuttings and tubers (e.g. potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This includes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants, including seedlings and young plants, which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from soil. These young plants may also be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion or pouring.

In some embodiments, treatment of plant propagation materials with a provided compound or compositions thereof is used for controlling a multitude of fungi on cereals, such as wheat, rye, barley and oats; rice, corn, cotton and soybeans.

The term “cultivated plants” is to be understood as including plants which have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering including but not limiting to agricultural biotech products on the market or in development. Genetically modified plants are plants, which genetic material has been so modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that under natural circumstances cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such genetic modifications also include but are not limited to targeted post-translational modification of protein(s), oligo- or polypeptides e.g. by glycosylation or polymer additions such as prenylated, acetylated or farnesylated moieties or PEG moieties.

Plants that have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering, e.g. have been rendered tolerant to applications of specific classes of herbicides, such as hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors; acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, such as sulfonyl ureas (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,222,100, WO 01/82685, WO 00/26390, WO 97/41218, WO 98/02526, WO 98/02527, WO 04/106529, WO 05/20673, WO 03/14357, WO 03/13225, WO 03/14356, WO 04/16073) or imidazolinones (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,222,100, WO 01/82685, WO 00/026390, WO 97/41218, WO 98/002526, WO 98/02527, WO 04/106529, WO 05/20673, WO 03/014357, WO 03/13225, WO 03/14356, WO 04/16073); enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) inhibitors, such as glyphosate (see e.g. WO 92/00377); glutamine synthetase (GS) inhibitors, such as glufosinate (see e.g. EP-A 242 236, EP-A 242 246) or oxynil herbicides (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,559,024) as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering. Several cultivated plants have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by conventional methods of breeding (mutagenesis), e.g. Clearfield® summer rape (Canola, BASF SE, Germany) being tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox. Genetic engineering methods have been used to render cultivated plants, such as soybean, cotton, corn, beets and rape, tolerant to herbicides such as glyphosate and glufosinate, some of which are commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® (glyphosate-tolerant, Monsanto, U.S.A.) and LibertyLink® (glufosinate-tolerant, Bayer CropScience, Germany).

Furthermore, plants are also covered that, by the use of recombinant DNA techniques, are capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins, especially those known from the bacterial genus Bacillus, particularly from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as δ-endotoxins, e.g. CrylA(b), CrylA(c), CrylF, CrylF(a2), CryllA(b), CrylllA, CrylllB(bi) or Cryθc; vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), e.g. VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonizing nematodes, e.g. Photorhabdus spp. or Xenor-habdus spp.; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins, or other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such Streptomycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea or barley lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin or pa-pain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxysteroid oxidase, ecdysteroid-IDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors or HMG-CoA-reductase; ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels; juvenile hormone esterase; diuretic hormone receptors (helicokinin receptors); stilbene synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases or glucanases. In the context of the present invention these insecticidal proteins or toxins are to be understood expressly also as pre-toxins, hybrid proteins, truncated or otherwise modified proteins. Hybrid proteins are characterized by a new combination of protein domains, (see, e.g. WO 02/015701). Further examples of such toxins or genetically modified plants capable of synthesizing such toxins are disclosed, e.g., in EP-A 374 753, WO 93/007278, WO 95/34656, EP-A 427 529, EP-A 451 878, WO 03/18810 und WO 03/52073. The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e.g., in the publications mentioned above. These insecticidal proteins contained in the genetically modified plants impart to the plants producing these proteins tolerance to harmful pests from all taxonomic groups of arthropods, especially to beetles (Coleoptera), two-winged insects (Diptera), and moths (Lepidoptera) and to nematodes (Nematoda). Genetically modified plants capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins are, e.g., described in the publications mentioned above, and some of them are commercially available such as YieldGard® (corn cultivars producing the CryiAb toxin), YieldGard® Plus (corn cultivars producing Cry1 Ab and Cry3Bb1 toxins), Starlink® (corn cultivars producing the Cry9c toxin), Herculex® RW (corn cultivars producing Cry34Ab1, Cry35Ab1 and the enzyme Phosphinothricin-N-Acetyltransferase [PAT]); NuCOTN® 33B (cotton cultivars producing the Cry1 Ac toxin), Bollgard® I (cotton cultivars producing the CryiAc toxin), Bollgard® I1 (cotton cultivars producing CryiAc and Cry2Ab2 toxins); VIPCOT® (cotton cultivars producing a VIP-toxin); NewLeaf® (potato cultivars producing the Cry3A toxin); Bt-Xtra®, NatureGard®, KnockOut®, BiteGard®, Protecta®, Bt 11 (e.g. Agrisure® CB) and Bt176 from Syngenta Seeds SAS, France, (corn cultivars producing the CryiAb toxin and PAT enyzme), MIR604 from Syngenta Seeds SAS, France (corn cultivars producing a modified version of the Cry3A toxin, c.f. WO 03/018810), MON 863 from Monsanto Europe S.A., Belgium (corn cultivars producing the Cry3Bb1 toxin), IPC 531 from Monsanto Europe S.A., Belgium (cotton cultivars producing a modified version of the CryiAc toxin) and 1507 from Pioneer Overseas Corporation, Belgium (corn cultivars producing the Cry1 F toxin and PAT enzyme).

Furthermore, plants are also covered that, by the use of recombinant DNA techniques, are capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the resistance or tolerance of those plants to bacterial, viral or fungal pathogens. Examples of such proteins are the so-called “pathogenesis-related proteins” (PR proteins, see, e.g. EP-A 392225), plant disease resistance genes (e.g. potato cultivars, which express resistance genes acting against Phytophthora infestans derived from the Mexican wild potato Solanum bulbocastanum) or T4-lysozym (e.g. potato cultivars capable of synthesizing these proteins with increased resistance against bacteria such as Erwinia amylvora). The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e.g., in the publications mentioned above.

Furthermore, plants are also covered that, by the use of recombinant DNA techniques, are capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the productivity (e.g. biomass production, grain yield, starch content, oil content or protein content), tolerance to drought, salinity or other growth-limiting environmental factors or tolerance to pests and fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens of those plants.

Furthermore, plants are also covered that, by the use of recombinant DNA techniques, contain a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve human or animal nutrition, e.g. oil crops that produce health-promoting long-chain omega-3 fatty acids or unsaturated omega-9 fatty acids (e.g. Nexera® rape, DOW Agro Sciences, Canada).

Furthermore, plants are also covered that, by the use of recombinant DNA techniques, contain a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve raw material production, e.g. potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e.g. Amflora® potato, BASF SE, Germany).

The invention also relates to a method for improving plant health by treating a plant, its propagation material and/or the locus where the plant is growing or is to grow with an effective amount of a provided compound or composition thereof.

The term “plant health” is to be understood to denote a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several indicators alone or in combination with each other such as yield (e.g. increased biomass and/or increased content of valuable ingredients), plant vigor (e.g. improved plant growth and/or greener leaves (“greening effect”)), quality (e.g. improved content or composition of certain ingredients) and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress. The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or may result from each other.

A provided compound can be present in different crystal modifications whose biological activity may differ. They are likewise subject matter of the present invention.

A provided compound is employed as such or in form of a composition by treating the fungi or the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms to be protected from fungal attack with a fungicidally effective amount of the active substances. The application can be carried out both before and after the infection of the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms by the fungi.

Plant propagation materials may be treated with a provided compound or composition thereof comprising at least one provided compound prophylactically either at or before planting or transplanting.

The invention also relates to agrochemical compositions comprising a solvent or solid carrier and at least one provided compound and to the use for controlling harmful fungi.

An agrochemical composition comprises a fungicidally effective amount of a provided compound. The term “effective amount” denotes an amount of a provided compound or composition thereof, which is sufficient for controlling harmful fungi on cultivated plants or in the protection of materials and which does not result in a substantial damage to the treated plants. Such an amount can vary in a broad range and is dependent on various factors, such as the fungal species to be controlled, the treated cultivated plant or material, the climatic conditions and the specific compound used.

A provided compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be converted into customary types of agrochemical compositions, e.g. solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes and granules. The composition type depends on the particular intended purpose; in each case, it should ensure a fine and uniform distribution of the provided compound.

Examples for composition types are suspensions (SC, OD, FS), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), emulsions (EW, EO, ES), pastes, pastilles, wettable powders or dusts (WP, SP, SS, WS, DP, DS) or granules (GR, FG, GG, MG), which can be water-soluble or wettable, as well as gel formulations for the treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds (GF).

Usually the composition types (e.g. SC, OD, FS, EC, WG, SG, WP, SP, SS, WS, GF) are employed diluted. Composition types such as DP, DS, GR, FG, GG and MG are usually used undiluted.

The compositions are prepared in a known manner (cf. U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084, EP-A 707 445 (for liquid concentrates), Browning: “Agglomeration”, Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, 147-48, Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook, 4th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1963, pp. 8-57 et seq., WO 91/13546, U.S. Pat.

These compositions can be applied to plant propagation materials, particularly seeds, diluted or undiluted. The compositions in question give, after two-to-tenfold dilution, active substance concentrations of from 0.01 to 60% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 40% by weight, in the ready-to-use preparations. Application can be carried out before or during sowing. Methods for applying or treating a provided agrochemical compound or composition thereof on to plant propagation material, especially seeds, are known in the art, and include dressing, coating, pelleting, dusting, soaking and in-furrow application methods of the propagation material. In a preferred embodiment, a provided compound or composition thereof is applied on to the plant propagation material by a method such that germination is not induced, e.g. by seed dressing, pelleting, coating and dusting.

In a preferred embodiment, a suspension-type (FS) composition is used for seed treatment. Typically, a FS composition may comprise 1-800 g/l of active substance, 1-200 g/l Surfactant, 0 to 200 g/l antifreezing agent, 0 to 400 g/l of binder, 0 to 200 g/l of a pigment and up to 1 liter of a solvent, preferably water.

The application forms depend entirely on the intended purposes; it is intended to ensure in each case the finest possible distribution of the active substances according to the invention. Aqueous application forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes or wettable powders (sprayable powders, oil dispersions) by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substances, as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of a wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier. Alternatively, it is possible to prepare concentrates composed of active substance, wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if appropriate, solvent or oil, and such concentrates are suitable for dilution with water.

The active substance concentrations in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied within relatively wide ranges. In general, they are from 0.0001 to 10%, preferably from 0.001 to 1% by weight of active substance.

The active substances may also be used successfully in the ultra-low-volume process (ULV), it being possible to apply compositions comprising over 95% by weight of active substance, or even to apply the active substance without additives.

When employed in plant protection, the amounts of active substances applied are, depending on the kind of effect desired, from 0.001 to 2 kg per ha, preferably from 0.005 to 2 kg per ha, more preferably from 0.05 to 0.9 kg per ha, in particular from 0.1 to 0.75 kg per ha.

In treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds, e.g. by dusting, coating or drenching seed, amounts of active substance of from 0.1 to 1000 g, preferably from 1 to 1000 g, more preferably from 1 to 100 g and most preferably from 5 to 100 g, per 100 kilogram of plant propagation material (preferably seed) are generally required.

When used in the protection of materials or stored products, the amount of active substance applied depends on the kind of application area and on the desired effect. Amounts customarily applied in the protection of materials are, e.g., 0.001 g to 2 kg, preferably 0.005 g to 1 kg, of active substance per cubic meter of treated material.

Various types of oils, wetters, adjuvants, herbicides, bactericides, other fungicides and/or pesticides may be added to the active substances or the compositions comprising them, if appropriate not until immediately prior to use (tank mix). These agents can be admixed with the compositions according to the invention in a weight ratio of 1:100 to 100:1, preferably 1:10 to 10:1.

Adjuvants which can be used are in particular organic modified polysiloxanes such as Break Thru S 240®; alcohol alkoxylates such as Atplus 245®, Atplus MBA 1303®, Plurafac LF 300® and Lutensol ON 30®; EO/PO block polymers, e.g. Pluronic RPE 2035® and Genapol B®; alcohol ethoxylates such as Lutensol XP 80®; and dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium such as Leophen RA®.

The compositions according to the invention can, in the use form as fungicides, also be present together with other active substances, e.g. with pesticides, growth regulators, fungicides or else with fertilizers, as pre-mix or, if appropriate, not until immediately prior to use (tank mix). The pesticide may be, for example, an insecticide, a fungicide, an herbicide, or an additional nematicide. The composition may also comprise one or more additional active substances, including biological control agents, microbial extracts, natural products, plant growth activators and/or plant defense agents.

Mixing a provided compound or compositions thereof in the use form as fungicides with other fungicides results in many cases in an expansion of the fungicidal spectrum of activity being obtained or in a prevention of fungicide resistance development. Furthermore, in many cases, synergistic effects are obtained.

Those mixtures are of particular interest, since many of them at the same application rate show higher efficiencies against harmful fungi. Furthermore, combating harmful fungi with a mixture of a provided compound and at least one fungicide from groups A) to F), as described above, is more efficient than combating those fungi with a provided compound alone or fungicides from groups A) to F) alone. By applying a provided compound together with at least one active substance from groups A) to I) a synergistic effect can be obtained, i.e. more than simple addition of the individual effects is obtained (synergistic mixtures).

According to this invention, applying a provided compound together with at least one further active substance is to be understood to denote that at least one provided compound and at least one further active substance occur simultaneously at the site of action (i.e. the harmful fungi to be controlled or their habitats such as infected plants, plant propagation materials, particularly seeds, surfaces, materials or the soil as well as plants, plant propagation materials, particularly seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms to be protected from fungal attack) in a fungicidally effective amount. This can be obtained by applying a provided compound and at least one further active substance simultaneously, either jointly (e.g. as tank-mix) or separately, or in succession, wherein the time interval between the individual applications is selected to ensure that the active substance applied first still occurs at the site of action in a sufficient amount at the time of application of the further active substance(s). The order of application is not essential for working of the present invention.

In binary mixtures, i.e. compositions according to the invention comprising one provided compound (component 1) and one further active substance (component 2), e.g. one active substance from groups A) to J), the weight ratio of component 1 and component 2 generally depends from the properties of the active substances used, usually it is in the range of from 1:100 to 100:1, regularly in the range of from 1:50 to 50:1, preferably in the range of from 1:20 to 20:1, more preferably in the range of from 1:10 to 10:1 and in particular in the range of from 1:3 to 3:1.

In ternary mixtures, i.e. compositions according to the invention comprising a provided compound (component 1) and a first further active substance (component 2) and a second further active substance (component 3), e.g. two active substances from groups A) to J), the weight ratio of component 1 and component 2 depends from the properties of the active substances used, preferably it is in the range of from 1:50 to 50:1 and particularly in the range of from 1:10 to 10:1, and the weight ratio of component 1 and component 3 preferably is in the range of from 1:50 to 50:1 and particularly in the range of from 1:10 to 10:1.

In other embodiments, two or more components of a kit may be packaged separately, i.e., not pre-formulated. As such, kits may include one or more separate containers such as vials, cans, bottles, pouches, bags or canisters, each container containing a separate component for an agrochemical composition. In both forms, a component of the kit may be applied separately from or together with the further components or as a component of a combination composition according to the invention for preparing the composition according to the invention.

The user applies the composition according to the invention usually from a predosage device, a knapsack sprayer, a spray tank or a spray plane. Here, the agrochemical composition is made up with water and/or buffer to the desired application concentration, it being possible, if appropriate, to add further auxiliaries, and the ready-to-use spray liquor or the agrochemical composition according to the invention is thus obtained. In some embodiments, 50 to 500 liters of the ready-to-use spray liquor are applied per hectare of agricultural useful area.

Tinea capitis and/or Tinea favosa and/or Tinea barbae are treatable by the administration of a provided compound or composition thereof.

Tinea capitis is a superficial fungal infection (dermatophytosis) of the skin of the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes that attacks the hair shaft and follicles. The disease is primarily caused by dermatophytes in the Trichophyton and Microsporum genera, including for example, Microsporum audouini, Microsporum canis, Microsporum distortum, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton megninii, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton schoenleinii, Trichophyton tonsurans, and Trichophyton verrucosum. The clinical presentation is typically a single or multiple patches of hair loss, sometimes with a ‘black dot’ pattern (often with broken-off hairs), that may be accompanied by inflammation, scaling, pustules, and itching. Tinea favosa can be considered a variety of Tinea capitis because it involves the scalp. Tinea favosa is primarily caused by dermatophytes in the Trichophyton and Microsporum genera, including for example, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton schoenleinii. Tinea barbae is a superficial dermatophytosis that is limited to the bearded areas of the face and neck and occurs almost exclusively in older adolescent and adult males. The clinical presentation of Tinea barbae includes inflammatory, deep, kerion-like plaques and non-inflammatory superficial patches resembling Tinea corporis or bacterial folliculitis. The mechanism that causes Tinea barbae is similar to that of Tinea capitis, and is frequently the result of a Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) infection but may also be the result of Trichophyton mentagrophytes var granulosum and Trichophyton verrucosum. Finally Microsporum canis and Trichophyton mentagrophytes var erinacei have been known to cause Tinea barbae but are relatively rare.

Tinea capitis which may be caused by one or more of Microsporum audouini, Microsporum canis, Microsporum distortum, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton megninii, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton schoenleinii, Trichophyton tonsurans, and/or Trichophyton verrucosum, and Tinea favosa which may be caused by one or more of Microsporum gypseum and/or Trichophyton schoenleinii, and Tinea barbae which may be caused by one of more of Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum), Trichophyton mentagrophytes var granulosum, Trichophyton verrucosum, Microsporum canis and Trichophyton mentagrophytes var erinacei, are treatable by the administration of a provided compound or composition thereof.

A provided compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has fungicidal activity against multiple organisms. Accordingly, the administration of the present compositions may treat, for example, conditions related to or caused by Microsporum audouini, Microsporum canis, Microsporum distortum, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton megninii, Trichophyton mentagrophytes var granulosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes var erinacei, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton schoenleinii, Trichophyton tonsurans, and/or Trichophyton verrucosum.

In some embodiments, the present subject matter relates to a method of treating and/or preventing onychomycosis in a subject comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount a provided compound or composition thereof.

Non-limiting conditions that are treated by the administration of a provided compound or composition thereof, include onychomycosis including onychomycosis caused by one or more of dermatophytes, yeasts (candidal onychomycosis), and non-dermatophyte molds.

Onychomycosis is treatable by the administration of a provided compound or composition thereof.

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail bed, matrix, and/or or nail plate. It is caused by 3 main classes of fungi: dermatophytes, yeasts (candidal onychomycosis), and nondermatophyte molds. Dermatophytes are the most common cause of onychomycosis, but onychomycosis caused by non-dermatophyte molds is becoming more common worldwide. Onychomycosis due to Candida is less common. Dermatophytes that can cause onychomycosis include one or more of Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton interdigitale, Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton violaceum, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton soudanense, and Trichophyton verrucosum, and dermatophyte associated onychomycosis is often also referred to as tinea ungium. Candidal onychomycosis include cutaneous candidisis and mucocutaneous candidiasis that are caused by one or more Candida species, including for example, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis. Non-dermatophyte molds that can cause onychomycosis can include one or more of, for example, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Fusarium spp., Aspergillus spp., Alternaria, Acremonium, Scytalidinum dimidiatum, and Scytalidinium hyalinum.

There are four classic types of onychomycosis including the following: distal subungual onychomycosis (DLSO) that is the most common form of onychomycosis, and is usually caused by Trichophyton rubrum and/or Trichophyton interdigitale, which invades the nail bed and the underside of the nail plate; white superficial onychomycosis (WSO) is caused by fungal (e.g., T. mentagrophytes) invasion of the superficial layers of the nail plate to form “white islands” on the plate, nondermatophyte molds cause deep white superficial onychomycosis; proximal subungual onychomycosis (PSO) is fungal penetration of the newly formed nail plate through the proximal nail fold and it is the least common form of onychomycosis in healthy people, but is found more commonly when the patient is immunocompromised; endonyx onychomycosis (EO), and candidal onychomycosis (CO) which is Candida species invasion of the fingernails.

A provided compound or composition thereof has fungicidal activity against multiple organisms. Accordingly, the administration of a provided compound or composition may treat, for example, conditions, including for example, onychomycosis, related to or caused by one or more dermatophytes, including for example, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton interdigitale, Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton violaceum, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton soudanense, and Trichophyton verrucosum; caused by one or more Candida species, including for example, Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis; and/or caused by one or more molds, including for example, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, a Fusarium spp., a Aspergillus spp., Alternaria, Acremonium, Scytalidinum dimidiatum, and Scytalidinium hyalinum.

In some embodiments, the present invention provides a provided compound or composition thereof, wherein the composition is combined with a physical/mechanical penetration enhancer that, for example, acts by increasing permeability by reversibly damaging or altering the physicochemical nature of the stratum corneum or nail surface to reduce its diffusional resistance. Such mechanical enhancement can include those known in the art such as manual and electrical nail abrasion, acid etching, ablation by laser, microporation, iontophoresis, or application of low-frequency ultrasound, heat or electric currents on/through the nail or skin to make the diffusion of topical moieties more efficient.

A provided compound or compositions thereof can be topically administered in any formulation, including a gel. A sufficient amount of the topical preparation can be gently rubbed onto the affected area and surrounding skin, for example, in an amount sufficient to cover an affected area plus a margin of healthy skin or tissue surrounding the affected area, for example, a margin of about 0.5 inches. A provided composition can be applied to any body surface, including for example, a skin surface, scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, bearded areas, nail surface, nail bed, nail matrix, and nail fold, as well as to the mouth, vagina, eye, nose, or other mucous membranes.

For most superficial fungal infections of the skin, a provided compound or composition thereof can be applied in a single, one-time application, once a week, once a bi-week, once a month, or from one to four times daily, for a period of time sufficient to alleviate symptoms or clear the fungal infection, for example, for a period of time of one week, from 1 to 12 weeks or more, from 1 to 10 weeks, from 1 to 8 weeks, from 2 to 12 weeks, from 2 to 10 weeks, from 2 to 8 weeks, from 2 to 6 weeks, from 2 to 4 weeks, from 4 to 12 weeks, from 4 to 10 weeks, from 4 to 8 weeks, from 4 to 6 weeks.

LC-MS: (ES, m/z): [M-C3H8N]⁺498; H-NMR: (300 MHz, DMSO, ppm): δ0.99-1.01 (d, 6H), δ1.23-1.25 (d, 6H), δ1.61 (s, 6H), δ2.52 (s, 3H), δ2.93-2.98 (t, 2H), δ3.81-3.88 (m, 1H), δ3.98-4.02 (t, 2H), δ4.51-4.59 (m, 1H), δ6.97-7.09 (m, 3H), δ7.29-7.32 (d, 1H), δ8.18 (s, 2H).

Example 222. In Vitro Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC) Inhibition Assay

An exemplary procedure for the in vitro ACC inhibition assay, which can be used to determine the inhibitory action of compounds of the invention toward either human (hACC2) or fungal (fACC2), follows. The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay kit from Promega was used. The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay is a luminescent ADP detection assay to measure enzymatic activity by quantifying the amount of ADP produced during an enzyme reaction. The assay is performed in two steps; first, after the enzyme reaction, an equal volume of ADP-Glo™ Reagent is added to terminate the reaction and deplete the remaining ATP. Second, the Kinase Detection Reagent is added to simultaneously convert ADP to ATP and allow the newly synthesized ATP to be measured using a luciferase/luciferin reaction. Luminescence can be correlated to ADP concentrations by using an ATP-to-ADP conversion curve. The detailed procedure is as follows. 50 μL of the compound being tested (600 μM in DMSO) was added to a 384-well dilution plate. The compound was diluted 1:3 in succession in DMSO for each row for 11 wells. 0.5 μL ACC2 working solution was added to 384-well white Optiplate assay plate. 0.5 μL diluted compound solution in each column from step 2 was added to assay plate, each row containing 2 replicates. For the last 2 rows, 0.5 μL negative control (DMSO) was added in one row and 0.5 μL positive control (compound I-97) in the other. The plates were incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. 5 μL substrate working solution was added to each well to initiate reaction. Final ACC2 reaction concentrations consist of: 5 nM ACC2, 20 μM ATP, 20 μM acetyl-CoA, 12 mM NaHCO₃, 0.01% Brij35, 2 mM DTT, 5% DMSO, test compound concentrations: 30 μM, 10 μM, 3.33 μM, 1.11 μM, 0.37 μM, 0.123 μM, 0.0411 μM, 0.0137 μM, 0.00457 μM, 0.00152 μM, and 0.00051 μM. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. 10 μL ADP glo reagent was added. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 40 minutes. 20 μL kinase detection reagent was added. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 40 minutes, and then read on a Perkin Elmer EnVision 2104 plate reader for luminescence as Relative Light Units (RLU).

Data for each concentration, as well as the positive and negative controls were averaged, and the standard deviation calculated. Percent inhibition was calculated by the formula: 100×(average negative control−compound)/(average negative control−average positive control). The IC₅₀ for each compound was calculated by fitting the data with a non-linear regression equation: Y=Bottom+(Top-Bottom)/(1+10{circumflex over ( )}((LogIC₅₀−X)*HillSlope)), where X is the log of compound concentration and Y is percent inhibition.

The results of the in vitro ACC2 inhibition assays are set forth in Table 2a. The compound numbers correspond to the compound numbers in Table 1. Compounds having an activity designated as “AAA” provided an IC₅₀ 0.0004-0.001 μM; compounds having an activity designated as “AA” provided an IC50 0.001-0.005; compounds having an activity designated as “A” provided an IC₅₀ 0.005-0.01 μM; compounds having an activity designated as “B” provided an IC₅₀ 0.01-0.04 μM; and compounds having an activity designated as “C” provided an IC₅₀≥0.04 μM IC₅₀. “NA” stands for “not assayed.”

Example 223 Thermal Shift Assay

Compounds of the present invention are evaluated in a thermal shift assay using methods substantially similar to those described by Vedadi et al. “Chemical screening methods to identify ligands that promote protein stability, protein crystallization, and structure determination.” PNAS (2006) vol. 103, 43, 15835-15840, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Example 224 [¹⁴C] Acetate Incorporation Assay

Compounds of the present invention are evaluated in a [¹⁴C] Acetate Incorporation Assay. An exemplary procedure for the assay, which measures the incorporation of isotopically labeled acetate into fatty acids, follows. HepG2 cells are maintained in T-75 flasks containing DMEM supplemented with 2 mM 1-glutamine, penicillin G (100 units/mL), streptomycin 100 μg/mL with 10% FBS and incubated in a humidified incubator with 5% CO₂ at 37° C. Cells were fed every 2-3 days. On Day 1 cells are seeded in 24 well plates at a density of 1.2×10⁵ cells/ml/well with the growth medium. On Day 3 the medium is replaced with fresh medium containing 10% FBS. On Day 4 the medium is replaced with 0.5 ml of fresh medium containing test compound (in DMSO; final [DMSO] is 0.5%) and the cells are incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. To one copy of plate, 4 ul of [2-¹⁴C] acetate (56 mCi/mmol; 1 mCi/ml; PerkinElmer) is added and the cells are incubated at 37° C., 5% CO₂ for 5 hrs. To a second copy of plate, 4 ul of cold acetate are added and the cells are incubated at 37° C., 5% CO₂ for 5 hrs. This plate is used for protein concentration measurement. Medium is removed and placed in a 15 ml centrifuge tube (BD, Falcon/352096). Cells are rinsed with 1 mL PBS, then aspirated, and the rinse and aspiration steps are repeated. 0.5 ml of 0.1N NaOH are added to each well and let sit at RT to dissolve cell monolayer. The remaining cell suspension is pooled with medium. For the protein determination plate, an aliquot is removed for protein determination (25 ul). 1.0 mL of EtOH and 0.17 mL 50% KOH are added to tubes containing medium and cell suspensions. Cells are incubated at 90° C. for 1 hr, then cooled to room temperature. 5 ml petroleum ether is added per tube, shaken vigorously, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, and 500 uL of the petroleum ether layer is transferred to tubes for Microbeta reading, then 2 ml Aquasol-2 are added to each tube, and the tubes are shaken and counted with a Microbeta Liquid Scintillation Counter (Perkin Elmer).

The remaining petroleum ether layer is discarded and the aqueous phase reserved for fatty acid extractions. The aqueous phase was acidified with 1 ml of concentrated HCl, checking pH of one or two extracts to make sure pH was below 1. 5 ml of petroleum ether is added per tube, shaken vigorously, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, and 4 ml of the petroleum ether layer is transferred to a new glass tube (10*18 mm). 5 ml of petroleum ether was added per tube, shaken vigorously, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, and 5 ml of the petroleum ether layer is transferred to the glass tube, and the extraction repeated again. The petroleum ether extracts are pooled and evaporated to dryness overnight. On Day 5 the residue from the petroleum ether fractions is resuspended in 120 uL of chloroform-hexane (1:1) containing 200 ug of linoleic acid as a carrier. 5 uL of this is spotted onto silica gel sheets, and the plates are developed using heptane-diethyl ether-acetic acid (90:30:1) as eluent. The fatty acid band is visualized with iodine vapor and the corresponding bands are cut out into scintillation vials. 2 ml of Aquasol-2 is added to each vial, and the vials are shaken and counted on a scintillation counter.

Example 225

Compounds of the present invention were evaluated in an Antifungal Activity Assay. An exemplary procedure for the assay, which measures the susceptibility of various Candida species to antifungal compounds, follows. Compounds to be tested (including fluconazole and amphotericin B) were dissolved in DMSO to obtain a solution having a concentration of 1 mg/mL. These stock solutions were sterile filtered using a 0.22 um nylon syringe filter, then diluted in sterile water to achieve a final concentration of 128 μg/mL.

All species were grown from frozen stock by directly plating on to freshly prepared Sabouraud Dextrose agar (BD, Difco) and incubated overnight in ambient air at 35° C. for 24 h. A direct suspension was prepared in RPMI 1640+MOPS (Lonza, Biowhittaker) by taking individual colonies from the overnight cultures using sterile swabs soaked in sterile saline. The concentration of the suspension was determined using pre-determined standard curves. These suspensions were then diluted down to 5×10³ CFU/mL to achieve a final concentration of 2.5×10³ CFU/mL once added to the microtiter plate as per CLSI guidelines (M27-A3, Vol. 28 No. 14).

Broth microtiter MIC challenge plates were prepared following CLSI guidelines (M27-A3, Vol. 28 No. 14). The original CLSI guidelines focused on reading Candida MICs after 48 h of incubation. As reading after only 24 h offers a clear advantage of patient care, QC limits are being established for all drugs at 24 h. That being said there are no known interpretive breakpoints for amphotericin B at 24 h and the current fluconazole interpretive breakpoints are based on a 48 h reading. The MICs for the test compounds were recorded at 48 h. All MIC determinations were achieved by visually comparing the growth found in the antibiotic challenged wells to that of the growth control. The first well found in the dilution scheme that showed no growth (or complete inhibition) was recorded as the MIC.

The results of the Antifungal Activity Assay are shown in Table 3a. Compounds having an activity designated as “AA” provided an MIC of 0.06-0.24 μg/mL; “A” provided an MIC of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL; compounds having an activity designated as “B” provided an MIC of 1.1-2.0 μg/mL; compounds having an activity designated as “C” provided an MIC of 2.1-4.0 μg/mL; and compounds having an activity designated as “D” provided an MIC of >4.1 μg/mL.

The results of the Antifungal (Candida) activity assay indicate that many compounds of the invention inhibit each of C. albicans, C. krusei, and C. parapsilosis at a concentration of less than 2 μg/mL, and some compounds inhibit each of those organisms at a concentration of less than 1 μg/mL.

Example 226

Compounds of the present invention were evaluated in a growth inhibition assay to determine the ability to control the growth of fungal pathogens, such as Botrtyis cinerea (Bc), Collectotrichum graminicola (Cg), Diplodia maydis (Dm), Fusarium moniliforme (Fm), Fusarium virguliforme (Fv), Phytophthora capsici (Pc), Rhizoctonia solani (Rs), and Septoria tritici (St).

Compounds to be tested were dissolved in DMSO at 2.5 mg/ml to produce compound stock solutions (“stocks”). Stocks were diluted with DMSO by a five-fold dilution in a 96-well stock plate, and two sets of final concentrations of 50, 10, and 2 ppm or 2, 0.4, and 0.08 ppm were obtained in vitro. A set of positive controls was also prepared, with various concentrations of Soraphen (2, 0.4, and 0.08 ppm), Metalaxyl (1.1, 0.22, and 0.04 ppm), and Metconazole (2, 0.4, and 0.08 ppm or 0.2, 0.04, and 0.008 ppm) after the five-fold dilutions. Negative controls on each plate included 2% DMSO, water, and a blank (media+2% DMSO).

Fungal spores were isolated from previously sub-cultured plates of Botrtyis cinerea (Bc), Collectotrichum graminicola (Cg), Diplodia maydis (Dm), Fusarium moniliforme (Fm), Fusarium virguliforme (Fv), Phytophthora capsici (Pc), and Septoria tritici (St). The isolated spores were diluted to individual concentrations with a 17% V8 liquid media. For Rhizoctonia solani (Rs) and Pythium irregulare, 1.5 mm mycelial plugs were used in place of spores and ¼ Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) was used for dilution. The spore concentrations and plug sizes were based on growth curves generated at 48 hours for each pathogen.

In a second 96-well plate, the spores or mycelial plugs, media, diluted compound solutions, and controls were combined. Once the compound was added, a true final concentration of compound in each well was measured by an OD600 reading, which adjusted for any compound precipitation that might have occurred in the well. Plate readings were repeated at both 24 and 48 hours. The blank negative control was used as a background subtraction. Additional visual ratings were performed at both 24 and 48 hours for checking on precipitation and confirming efficacy. Visual and OD600 ratings of the compounds at 48 hours were compared to the 2% DMSO negative control, and the percent of pathogen growth inhibition was determined based on those values.

The results of the growth inhibition assay are shown in Tables 4a and 4b. Compounds having an activity designated as “AA” provided a compound concentration of 0.08 ppm at 90% inhibition of fungal pathogens; compounds having an activity designated as “A” provided a compound concentration of 0.4 ppm at 90% inhibition of fungal pathogens; compounds having an activity designated as “B” provided a compound concentration of 2.0 ppm at 90% inhibition of fungal pathogens; compounds having an activity designated as “C” provided a compound concentration of 10.0 ppm at 90% inhibition of fungal pathogens; and compounds having an activity designated as “D” provided a compound concentration of ≥50 ppm at 90% inhibition of fungal pathogens.

Example 227

Compounds of the invention are also assayed in a Cancer Cell Viability Assay as described by Beckers et al. “Chemical Inhibition of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Induces Growth Arrest and Cytotoxicity Selectively in Cancer Cells” Cancer Res. (2007) 67, 8180-8187. An exemplary procedure for the assay, which measures the percentage of cancer cells surviving following administration of inhibitor compounds, follows.

LNCaP (prostate cancer cell line) cells plated at 4×10⁵ per 6 cm dish are incubated at 37° C., and the following day they are treated with increasing concentrations of inhibitor compounds and incubated. Viable cells and the percentage of dead cells is counted and calculated every day for 5 days from day 0, using trypan blue staining.

Example 228

Compounds of the present invention are also assayed in an In Vivo Fatty Acid Synthesis Study as described by Harwood et al. “Isozyme-nonselective N-Substituted Bipiperidylcarboxamide Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Inhibitors Reduce Tissue Malonyl-CoA Concentrations, Inhibit Fatty Acid Synthesis, and Increase Fatty Acid Oxidation in Cultured Cells and in Experimental Animals” Journal of Biological Chemistry (2008) 278, 37099-37111. An exemplary procedure for the assay, which measures the amount of radioactive [C¹⁴]-acetate incorporated into rat liver tissue, follows.

Animals given food ad water ad libitum are treated orally at a volume of 1.0 mL/200 g body weight (rat) with either an aqueous solution containing 0.5% methylcellulose (vehicle), or an aqueous solution containing 0.5% methylcellulose plus test compound. One to four hours after compound administration, animals receive an intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 mL of [C¹⁴]-acetate (64 uCi/mL; 56 uCi/mL). One hour after radiolabeled acetate administration, animals are sacrificed by CO₂ asphyxiation and two 0.75 g liver pieces are removed and saponified at 70 degrees C. for 120 minutes in 1.5 mL of 2.5M NaOH. After saponification, 2.5 mL of absolute ethanol are added to each sample and the solutions are mixed and allowed to stand overnight. Petroleum ether (4.8 mL) is then added to each sample, and the mixtures are first shaken vigorously for 2 minutes and then centrifuged at 1000×g in a benchtop Sorvall for 5 minutes. The resultant petroleum ether layers, which contain non-saponifiable lipids, are removed and discarded. The remaining aqueous layer is acidified to pH<2 by the addition of 12M HCl and extracted two times with 4.8 mL of petroleum ether. The pooled organic fractions are transferred to liquid scintillation vials, dried under nitrogen, dissolved in 7 mL of Aquasol liquid scintillation fluid, and assessed for radioactivity using a Beckman 6500 liquid scintillation counter. Results are recorded as disintigrations per minute (DPM) per milligram of tissue.

Example 229

Compounds of the present invention are also assayed in a Respiratory Quotient Measurement Assay, as described by Harwood et al. “Isozyme-nonselective N-Substituted Bipiperidylcarboxamide Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Inhibitors Reduce Tissue Malonyl-CoA Concentrations, Inhibit Fatty Acid Synthesis, and Increase Fatty Acid Oxidation in Cultured Cells and in Experimental Animals” Journal of Biological Chemistry (2008) 278, 37099-37111. An exemplary procedure for the assay, which measures the ratio of carbon dioxide production to oxygen consumption in rats, follows.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats (350-400 g) housed under standard laboratory conditions, either fed chow, fasted, or fasted and refed a diet high in sucrose for 2 days prior to experimentation are removed from their home cages, weighed, and placed into sealed chambers (43″43″10 cm) of the calorimeter (one rat per chamber). The chambers are placed in activity monitors. The calorimeter is calibrated before each use, air flow rate is adjusted to 1.6 liters/min, and the system settling and sampling times are set to 60 and 15 s, respectively. Base-line oxygen consumption, CO₂ production, and ambulatory activity are measured every 10 min for up to 3 h before treatment. After collecting base-line data, the chambers are opened and rats are given a 1.0-ml oral bolus of either an aqueous 0.5% methylcellulose solution (vehicle control) or an aqueous 0.5% methylcellulose solution containing test compound and then returned to the Oxymax chambers. Measurements are made every 30 min for an additional 3-6 h after dose. Fed vehicle controls are used to assess effects produced by vehicle administration and by drift in the RQ measurement during the course of the experimentation (if any). Overnight-fasted, vehicle-treated controls are used to determine maximal potential RQ reduction. Results are plotted as their absolute RQ value (±SEM) over time.

Example 230

Compounds of the present invention are also assayed in a propidium iodide (PI) cell death assay, based on the procedure described by van Engeland et al. “A novel assay to measure loss of plasma membrane asymmetry during apoptosis of adherent cells in culture” Cytometry (1996) 24 (2), 131-139. An exemplary procedure for the assay, which measures the number of intact mitotic cells following drug application follows.

Hepatocellular carcinoma cells (such as HepG2 or Hep3B) are seeded in a 24-well plate at a density of 1.106/mi in 0.5 ml of culture medium, and incubated for 3 hours to allow time for cells to adhere. Cells are treated with experimental compounds, 1 uM doxorubicin (1,2) or vehicle (DMSO) control for 120 hours after treatment: a. First culture supernatant is removed into 2 mL polypropylene tube and place on ice; b. Then wells are washed with 0.5 mL PBS, transferring the wash volume to the 2 mL tube containing culture supernatant (floating cells). The cells are kept on ice. Harvesting is accomplished by adding into the wells 200 uL of accutase for 5 min. The accutase is then inactivated with 300 uL media. The misture is pipetted up and down and the trypsinized cells are transferred from the well into the 2 mL tube with the floating cells (total volume: 1.5 mL). The cells are kept on ice. The cells are spun at 0.6 rcf for 10 min at 4 degrees C. Following centrifugation the medium is aspirated, and the cells are resuspended in 500 uL of media by vortexing in pulses for about 15 seconds. The cells are kept on ice.

For cell counting: 20 uL of cells are added to a plate after vortexing in pulses for 15 s, and the plate was kept on ice. Then 20 uL trypan blue is added immediately before counting. Cells are counted with a TC10 Biorad cell counter. The cells are spun at 0.6 rcf for 10 min at 4 degrees C. The medium is aspirated carefully and the cells are resuspended in 500 uL of annexin binding buffer 1× by vortexing. The cell suspension is transferred to a 5 ml FACS tube then 5 ul of Propidium Iodide are added. The cells are gently mixed and incubated for 15 min at room temperature in the dark.

For the flow cytometric analysis, unstained/untreated samples are used at each time point as a negative control, and doxorubicin treated samples are used at each time point as a positive control. A FACScan flow cytometer is used, and FL2-A histograms are analyzed with FlowJo software.

Example 231

Compounds of the present invention are also assayed in high fat diet induced obesity (DIO) studies. A representative protocol for the assay follows.

The compounds of the present invention are readily adapted to clinical use as anti-obesity agents, insulin sensitizing agents, hyperinsulinemia-reversing agents, and hepatic steatosis-reversing agents. Such activity was determined by assessing the amount of test compound that reduces body weight and percentage body fat, reduces plasma insulin levels, blunts the rise and/or accelerates the reduction in plasma insulin and glucose levels in response to an oral glucose challenge, and reduces hepatic lipid content relative to a control vehicle without test compound in mammals. Sprague Dawley rats were fed either chow, a diet high in sucrose (for example AIN76A rodent diet; Research diets Inc. Cat #10001) or a diet high in fat (for example Research diets Inc. Cat #12451), for from 3-8 weeks prior to and during test compound administration.

The anti-obesity, insulin sensitizing, hyperinsulinemia-reversing, and hepatic steatosis-reversing potential of compounds of the present invention is demonstrated by evaluating modifications to a variety of parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism using methods based on standard procedures known to those skilled in the art. For example, after a 3-8 week period of ad libitum feeding of either a chow, high-fat, or high-sucrose diet, animals that continued to receive the diet are treated for 1-8 weeks with test compound administered either by oral gavage in water or saline or water or saline containing 0.5% methylcelulose using a Q.D., B.I.D, or T.I.D. dosing regimen. At various times during study and at sacrifice (by CO₂ asphyxiation), blood is collected either from the tail vein of an unanesthesized rat or from the vena cava of animals at sacrifice into heparin or EDTA containing tubes for centrifugal separation to prepare plasma. Plasma levels of parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism known by those skilled in the art to be altered coincident with anti-obesity, insulin sensitizing, hyperinsulinemia-reversing, and hepatic steatosis-reversing actions, including but not limited to cholesterol and triglycerides, glucose, insulin, leptin, adiponectin, ketone bodies, free fatty acids, and glycerol, are measured using methods known to those skilled in the art.

The anti-obesity potential of compounds of the present invention can also be demonstrated by evaluating their potential to produce a reduction in body weight, a reduction in percentage body fat (measured by for example dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) analysis), and a reduction in plasma leptin levels. The anti-obesity and hepatic steatosis-reversing potential of compounds of the present invention can also be demonstrated by evaluating their potential to reduce the concentration of triglycerides in the liver, using extraction and quantitation procedures known to those skilled in the art. The insulin sensitizing and hyperinsulinemia-reversing potential of compounds of the present invention can also be demonstrated by evaluating their potential to blunt the rise and/or accelerate the reduction in plasma insulin and glucose levels in response to an oral glucose challenge, using procedures known to those skilled in the art.
